Where in the World is (former MBL employee) Jay Dimond?


Jay Dimond, a former MBL Diver/Collector and long-time summer employee bid farewell to Woods Hole last September. Just weeks later he and significant other Julie Barber set off for a year-long adventure that will take them around the world—from New England to southern Africa—and lots of places in between!

After spending a few weeks on the beaches of French Polynesia, Jay and Julie were on the move to New Zealand. They are currently living in the Marlborough region of the country, well-known to wine lovers for its famous vineyards. Appropriately, they are working at a winery as casual laborers for the next few months as they save money for the rest of their adventure. Future stops on their world tour include: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Burma, China, and Nepal.
